ABOUT
At ATELIER IF we take delight in questioning the familiar and negotiating the peculiar.
We believe in the value of well-crafted, tailor-made spatial responses that bring delight to its users through a sensitive understanding of each Client's brief.
Not confined by the traditional definitions of Architecture – We see Architecture in the small and the large, in the temporary and the permanent. We celebrate the charm of temporary interventions and approach the permanent in a tactile and material manner, tracing the hand of time to craft sensitive, thoughtful interventions.
We want to explore the Why nots and What IFs to realise new possibilities.
We are in the business of telling stories through spaces.
Let us tell yours.
